I dunno, this still sounds mostly like technical/core/wankery to me. I'll put it to the court and see what sayeth they

Sounds good. I guess I do still hear some breakdowns here and there, but they’re not really the predominant feature anymore. We shall see.

It isn't really the breakdowns. You can have breakdowns and still be metal, we do accept some deathcore and there's breakdowns in bdm/slam. It's the riff structure that sounds more in line with prog and mathcore rather than metal. Gonna wait for a few more mods to chime in before I give you a definitive answer.

Edit: mmmkk, it's gonna stay on the blacklist. Enough of us feel it is too far into mathcore/wankery territory.

Holy shit that is Mathcore on a level even I find kind of hard to listen to. The entire first 30 seconds of that album is nothing but wild noodling.

Please keep your opinions and comments of such to yourself and out of this thread. Dont need to make things more confusing or convoluted than they already can be in here.

Still more punk than metal overall, aside from the last song. BTW, if you find a band who has a full-length and they’re blacklisted for metalness reasons, they won’t be whitelisted based on a shorter, less important release (especially one that’s 5 minutes long, like in this case). You should only bring up bands like Crippled Fox again if they release something that is 1) a full-length, 2) unambiguously metal.

this is definitely black metal,
I think the reason the band was flagged was due to the long ambient intros of the demos
but a debut has finally been released and is straight metal

A band I submitted Catalysis was rejected due to not being metal enough. I disagree but they have since launched a new EP and music video with an updated style.

They play a sound that is Groove metal mixed with death metal/core influences

Heres a Sample of the new sound.

I want to make a case for allowing "Light The Torch" - the name Devil You Know goes by now.

But I'm not going to go through the route of "hey... they be metal." - in fact I agree they aren't metal enough for MA.

However, this is more or less the same band as Devil You Know, minus one member, that had to change their name due to legal issues from John Sankey claiming copyright ownership over the name.

I always thought a band is still the same band regardless of what name it goes by, especially if the same core members are writing a similar style of music. The new "Light the Torch" album could easily have been a "Devil You Know" album. It's a departure in sound, but it still contains a lot of the elements that Devil You Know has such as Howard's vocals, the vocals of Howard Jones, and Howard Jones singing words in his unique manner, and some breakdowns.

On the flip side it could be argued that Devil You Know broke up, and ex-band members formed Light The Torch, but that doesn't seem to be the case. The band continued after one guy left. A name change happened out of necessity, some old guy with a gavel made them change it probably. Maybe they should've gone with "Devil You Don't Know" or "Devil, y'know?" but instead they went with "Light The Torch"

If they changed to full alternative melodic emo shoegaze hip hop with "Light the Torch" with no Howard screaming and no heavy riffs or any shred of "Devil You Know", it could be argued that while only one band member left, the band themselves decided to change their identity and sound so dramatically as to become a different band and not even acknowledge their first two albums, abandoning them like Pantera abandoned Power Metal.

But I don't think that happened here. I think Light the Torch still plays Devil You Know songs - especially since the copyright claim was over the name "Devil You Know". Their album still has riffs, solos and such - just not nearly as much. On the flipside, it is called "Revival", and they talk about this being a new start for the band, so that "separate band" argument could be made. And there was a change in sound, no arguing that.

But I still have some theoretical questions...

What if they re-release their first two albums rebranded as "Light the Torch" releases? (okay, that's just one theoretical question)

My proposal might need the creation of a new rule. I know, how dare I suggest such a thing? But it would be very narrow in scope, I think. Maybe even to the point where it isn't explicitly stated, but certain band name changes are quietly allowed in just to serve as continuity for the previous name. Although I can't think of any others.

The current system is fine as well, even if it tugs at my completionist compulsion and that there being a missing album from the Devil You Know / Light The Torch collective corpus annoys my autistic spectrum side. And I am willing to wait and see what else Light the Torch does. Maybe they are going to only play new stuff, leaving Devil You Know in the past entirely.

I dig this music and Howard's clean vocals. I agree it's not quite metal enough for MA though. Definitely not progressive power metal.

The American band foghound has released a new album and imo it sounds like regular stoner metal in the style of Sixty Watt shaman and is also reasonably heavier than their last album. Could the band be whitelisted based on this, please: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9qQxa06_3E

Blacklisted for being too rough of a release. After a re-evaluation, Erosion, Paganius, and I agreed that it was acceptable, so we restored a previous submission.

I wanted to submit the band Hundredth, because it's a hardcore band and I've seen multiple bands that are listed as hardcore on here, so why does mine get rejected and a band like Calligram gets added? Thanks in advance!

Because Hundredth doesn't have any metal releases, unlike Calligram. Pretty simple.

Because Calligram is a mix of black metal and hardcore and more on the metal side of the fence while Hundreth is (using your own phrasing here) Melodic Hardcore (early), Indie Rock (later) without any metal influence.

I have noticed, that the Swiss band Maxwell was blacklisted. maxwell have relased a new album Metalized this year and as the name suggests, the band have turned their style towards more traditional heavy metal with a bit of hard rock, the style can be compared a bit to Shakra imo.

Just listened the entire thing. It's just modern, "metallic" hard rock for the great part.
There are very few metal moments such as the intro to "Burn" (Five minutes alone?), and a huge tendency for all songs to dwell into poppy straight-forward hard rock choruses.

Thanks, but blacklist stays.

"Hard alternative rock/core" - 2016

Did they release something new that might change that?

It's not blacklisted. Sometimes something just hasn't been submitted yet. If you think they meet our rules and guidelines, feel free to submit them. :)

Hi folks, other threads were talking about Lumnos (Brazil) so I don't have to ask why is blacklisted

But on next December 9 this album will be available:
https://lumnos.bandcamp.com/album/the-h ... ingularity

Still shoegaze-black metal borderline?

EDIT: Also is there "Gratitude and Honor (A Tribute Album)"

By the way, is it possible that this band had an entry before?

I know Treponem Pal is blacklisted, most likely for being more industrial than metal. But have they been evaluated for their second LP, Aggravation? It sounds like a cross between Ministry and Voivod.

There is no specification on the blacklist.

It may be because it sounds more industrial rock than industrial metal and while I agree with the Voivod/Ministry thing I think it only applies to a number of songs and not the whole album. Still, I'm going to whitelist it so please submit and let's see what happens ;)

Out of curiosity, what does the blacklist note on the Japanese band Roxanne say?

While I understand it's fairly borderline, I do think their 4 song demo tape "Ready to Battle" is generally metal enough to include them on the site: https://mega.nz/#!lJgzzaoS!qig3PS0HeJdN ... 4g67sMSFnE

Blacklisted on December 2013 for being more hard rock than metal.
[EDIT]: Supporting the mod decision here. There's only one metal song and the rest are clearly more hard rock oriented.

No, but because the overall recording/production quality is below listenable.

Hello,
I submitted the band Baron Ungern (as Барон Унгерн) from Mongolia and TheStormIRide wrote on the rejection notes that the band was previously blacklisted under its in english name and suggested me to write here if i thought it should be reconsidered.
Since their only release is a black metal EP 16 minutes long with no doubt of metalness i thought it should be reconsidered with the new lenght rule for digital releases.

Here the EP

here i'm again.

and wondering, is there rules changed?

there so many bands that are "non-metal", that came from "core" genre.

just put genre name in search:
Deathcore: https://www.metal-archives.com/search?s ... band_genre - 1318 bands
Grindcore: https://www.metal-archives.com/search?s ... band_genre - 4586(!) bands
Metalcore: https://www.metal-archives.com/search?s ... band_genre - 3505 bands

there is even "thrashcore" with 46 bands.

and "Cassandra's complex" is still blacklisted. and nobody cares, that their last single became more METAL, than it was at beginning.

that sucks and totally un understandable situation.

Blacklisting reason was the horrible quality, though considering the context here, this might warrant another look. We'll check it out. Is this actually Mongolian, though, and not just some kind of gimmick?

Deathcore and Metalcore are both hybrid genres. That is, part Metal, and part non-Metal. The bands you will find listed here of those genres are the ones that are deemed to have based their sound mainly in the Metal side of the fence instead of the -core side of it. Cassandra's Complex is blacklisted because it is the kind of Deathcore that is based on the non-Metal side.

Also keep in mind that we generally require a metal full-length, a single is not enough.

"Any valid releases? I don't see any download options. The downloads on their homepage are only samples."

I did not provide the iTunes link (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/dimensions/1437773332), just Deezer. But please correct me if I'm wrong - having iTunes and Deezer accounts, or paying for the material, you're allowed to download the album. At least that's how iTunes work, as far as I know. The excerpts of the tracks are only for free users (https://www.deezer.com/us/album/74488352).

Does iTunes link make the band approve-able?
